    I apologize if my words have offended you, Black_Books, as it was not my intent. I don't understand your hostility, or why you would imply that I, one unknown to you, am stunningly ignorant and/or lacking perspective. The claims I have made are easily verifiable with current information from reputable, unbiased sources, and I did not exaggerate those claims in order to start or continue an argument.

    Have a happy day.

    You haven't offended me over tea. lol I was just stretching my debate skills, to be honest. Actually learned quite a bit. If you noticed in my post I didn't address you, merely your statements. I was speaking generally to the forum as a whole in my post above:


    ...and do not/did not, in fact, accuse you of a lack of perspective or insinuate you as stunningly ignorant. Although the KFC thing was a bit drastic and silly, I admit(was typing under the influence).

    I do apologize for making you feel uncomfortable or attacked.

    Thanks -- fortunately, I don't often take things personally and haven't here in our little exchange. It's all good.

    I love both tea... and coffee (gasp). I hope that's not too taboo for this topic.

    But I'm such an indecisive one. You see, it's the same when it comes to being a cat-person vs. dog-person. I'm both!

    Perhaps I truly have got the best of both worlds. But whilst I'm stuck in such a limbo, I just cannot figure out how you can possibly dislike either one...

    So, excuse the two cups on my desk.

    I am a huge tea drinker. Usually black, chamomile, or pre-made blends. I get some good ones from my local herb store that they make there.

    I've tried several types of tea and the only kind I like is Celestial Seasonings Sleepytime and Tension Tamer. (I've posted on other threads about CS tea.)

    I've tried a lot of other natural teas, some flavoured, some not, but have yet to find anything natural and caffeine-free that I like. I don't like anything with a strong smell or taste. (Although I LOVE the smell of coffee but don't drink it - never have!)

    I did try CS's Sinus Soother this past winter when I had a sinus infection and it was "okay".

    Same here. Loose leaf is 1000x better than tea bags.

    I used to drink Ti Kuan Yin daily but Ali Shan is probably my favorite oolong. Anything from Yunnan seems to be superior black tea, IMO. Gyokuro (a green tea) brewed at 130 F is what I would consider a delicacy.

    I'm a tea lover. I love green tea, chia tea and black tea. But really what is the utmost for me is ginger tea. I make it myself from fresh ginger root. I peel the root and chop the root and then blend it in my blender with water and simmer it for 20 minutes - never letting it come to a full boil. Then I put some lime juice and honey in the bottom of a pitcher and strain the ginger/water into the pitcher with a sieve. I like it cooled in the frig and served over ice when the weather is hot (which is always here) but I like it hot when I get to a place with cold weather (which is almost never). Also another delicious variation is mixing fresh ginger root with pineapple, cilantro in orange juice and blend in blender.....

    for both ideas - just play with the amounts of ingredient to get a concoction that you like. I've been drinking my ginger tea more and more stronger all the time......it has a nice spicy heat to it but still refreshing.

    I love China Mist Tea most; the kind they sell at Panda Express. I order it online and make it at home!
    My other favorites are green tea, white tea, chamomile, darjeelig, and fruit teas. I also like Arizona Diet Iced Green Tea and Marley Tea.

    I've got one of those. Home alchemist here >.>
    I have taken valerian herbal pills to sleep before but they've never worked too well. Would the tea be more potent?
